Thank you for the fast reply but I beleave that you missed what I am asking. As it sits I have an all in one modem/router from the internet company I use. I want to get ride of it and use the one I bought ( AX6) however the AX6 does not have a Cable hook up on the back of it. But I think now I know what Im mssing the (Modem?) I think I need to go back to the internet company and ask for just a Modem? Im trying to get better quality and speed from a firestick I am now using and ditch my cable company. Also any recomodation on a better Moden then what my internet provider will maybe give me?
No I understood.
You'll need to contact your ISP to see what user bought modems will work on there system. The RAX needs a modem/ONT interface to get internet services. So NGs CM series of cable modems are modem only units which can work with the RAX router. Just need to check with your ISP if they support these models on there network.
What is the Mfr and model# of the Internet Service Providers modem/ONT the NG router is connected too?
There maybe a possiblity that your ISP modem can work in modem only mode and then you could still use that modem with the RAX router. As a alternative option. Something to ask your ISP about.
